Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, said the national average has reverted to declining in the midst of resolution to refinery issues in the West Coast, while lower demand also weighs on oil prices, leading to modest relief in some areas of the country

“While a partial trade deal with China may temporarily interrupt continued relief, the devil will be in the details – will any potential trade deal lead to solid expectations for economic growth in the U.S.?” DeHaan said. “If so, then expect oil prices to follow to higher ground, before taping off after new optimism brings a small rally to oil, but if the latest talk of a trade deal is believed to be more like lipstick on a pig, then I expect gas prices will continue to decline.

“Either way- one thing holds true no matter if there’s a trade deal or not- and that’s that California motorists will see relief in the weeks ahead after refinery issues have abated.”
